Spencer Spit
We left Friday Harbor around 9am, and it didn’t take long to get to Spencer Spit, our next moorage. It’s on Lopez Island, and has a long beach peninsula with a cove on each side. We took the dinghy into shore, and had to take our shoes off and hop ankle deep in the water to get on shore. We then walked up the beach a while looking for sea glass, my Mom, Merlin and I. I found a couple of pieces, and Merlin kept picking up random pieces of driftwood, etc. Including a spine of a small animal. Blech!! My Mom bagged it to take back and show Fred. This cove is full of crabbers coming and going on their small boats, which means we almost have constant wake. I wasn’t feeling so hot when we got back because of this, but we all had lunch. That helped a little. Fred was reading up on the topside of the boat, so I went up there and laid on one of the bench seats for a while. The sun felt nice, but got to warm after a while. I came down and took a nap in my cabin for a while, as my Mom did so on the couch. She wasn’t feeling so hot either. We got up and my Mom made pork chops, rice and broccoli for dinner and we both felt a little better afterwards. During dinner we watched the news out of Vancouver. And they actually had a LONG segment on the NHL, can you believe it? They talked about the NHL awards, the Canucks, a big trade the Hawks made, and a retired Canadian player (Robinson) having his jersey sell for $1mil. WOW! And I did read yesterday about the Sharks goalie not being resigned. Bummer, but it was speculated. Good luck to you Nabby!
